martine plateau needs no specific style or original technique, no exuberant
design to create an oeuvre that touches us deeply. those who look beyond the
surprising, sober form to search for the essence of the emotion  and find
it, sometimes  will discover that beauty breaks down frontiers and limits.

ART O NIVO - A ROOM FOR ART
art o nivo aims to explore the subtle borderline area where the frontier
between art and craft dissolves. it creates a stimulating setting for the
presentation of works in glass and ceramics as well as of other less
well-known graphic arts such as calligraphy, etching, photography,
lithography etc.
ART O NIVO - CROSSROADS OF EUROPEAN ART
in 2004, art o nivo will be bringing together artists from different
european countries and different disciplines. each exhibition is the result
of interaction and cross pollination between artists from at least 2
countries.
inspiring for the artist.
fascinating for the visitor.
unique in europe !
